Students will begin the process to apply for their student teaching year (professional level of the Education Double Degree process) in the fall of the year they are completing their primary degree requirements, Education prerequisites, and content mastery courses. Students ready to apply can start by attending an Application Workshop to learn the details about the application process. After attending a workshop, students will be added to a Professional Application Canvas site to submit their application materials (due by February 1st, unless otherwise indicated). If students are unable to attend an application workshop, they can make an appointment with Head Advisor, Niki Weight.
